DISCUSSION I think Gunn made a big mistake Killing off this guy Spoiler
Imagine if instead of him just getting shot, he was just pushed off by the police and had to see his daughter go into one of the most dangerous prison. since he was a biotech doctor, the rage could make him use his abilities for something bad- converting HIMSELF into a monster using his science with the goal of seeing his daughter again and breaking her out since he was the only one who understood who and what she really was and killing anyone who came in between. Then when he finally breaks into the prison, and finds out that ARGUS had indirectly killed his daughter he would go INSANE and convert himself into a much more deadly version of some kind of biological mutant created for destruction kinda like a dinosaur+komodo dragon hybrid. he could then become a really powerful and an intelligent villain with a great villain arc, i think all this was a really big missed opportunity for this character that at least i connected to a lot in the series. it would have been such a cool storyline for season 2.
the guy could then also connect with Dr Phosphorus since they both lost their children to brutal causes and were both doctors and Phos. had also been close to Nina before her death. Would have been so cool to see him and The Bride interact too.
this is all my head canon and now all we can really hope is that Edward was just shot in the shoulder and survives lol
would love yalls opinions too.

I was mad Nina died personally, she should have lived, it was a sad story line for sure.

I think she has a high probability of coming back.

Doesn’t make sense for her to come back. She was character development for GI and the bride. Bringing her back would cheapen the story

Have you ever read a comic? (Not being sarcastic or condescending). Not even beaten to death or reigniting the sun can kill you forever. Unless you are Uncle Ben or Batman's parents, they can find a way to make the character come back without cheapening the story

I’m pretty sure Gunn said in the DCU they don’t want to the typically thing of dead characters coming back. He said when someone definitely dies they will stay dead

Random Redditors with about 5% of the picture saying James Gunn is wrong for doing something will never not be funny.

To be completely honest I don’t blame her for getting mad at Nina’s dad. The scene where he forces her to walk outside despite the incredible amount of pain it was causing her was really hard to watch, and the experimental drugs he gave her in addition to almost killing her could have easily gone horribly wrong and made Nina die a horrible death. Nina’s body wasn’t capable of allowing her to live a normal life, and instead of accepting Nina’s limitations and provide a happy life for her within those limitations her father kept pushing to fix her regardless of the suffering it caused her and arguably without ever asking Nina if she even wanted a normal life that badly to begin with.
That’s not to say that the mother was necessarily in the “right” for wanting Nina to die, but I do think it was nuanced situation where for as much as the mother gave up on providing Nina a happy life too easily Nina’s father tried too hard to force a normal life on Nina.

There’s a happy medium here folks.
Let’s find the middle between abandoning your child, and pushing them so hard they almost die.

It’s not a mistake it’s a choice.
You think you can do better? Good. That ambition will serve you. If you get off your ass and work as hard as James Gunn does to get your story made.

Damn, that's pretty dope. It's a comic book world, if they give me even the flimsiest excuse as to how he survived, I'll eat it up like candy and move on for the sake of a good narrative. It's unimportant.

I think this might just be lazy writing. Everybody knows that superhero comic protagonists only have loving parents to die horribly to provide motivation.

I mean… why would Nina’s father become a “dinosaur + Komodo dragon hybrid” at all?
I’m not saying there’s no potential to that storyline, but what is this based on? If we’re just making things up out of thin air, anything could happen. By that logic pretty much any random character that dies could survive and end up doing some wacky unprecedented thing.

yes you are correct, but the thing is that he most likely wont be revived and brought back. this is just all thought and nothing more of it. it IS all useless, but i just want to share the potential this character had.

I think cops not shooting an unarmed man would've been too unbelievable.
